Thanks Sultan, at least Puma pilots flying offshore can up their game. Looking at the photos and met reports, I can see the floats were inflated but did not keep the aircraft upright in a somewhat benign sea state. Floats aren't normally armed on an instrument approach to an airport, so something actioned by pilots, but without enough aircraft controllability for a stable water entry?
LOC DME 09 for Sumburgh is a CDFA approach, constant descent from 2100' at 6.4 back to a DA of 300' about 1 mile back.
How does the L2 fly these? Anybody that can give us a rundown on what autopilot modes would have been coupled and what capture settings for AS/VS/ rad or baro alt would be? How far back from the threshold lights does the DA put you?
